In our last post on new age alternative therapies, we talked about how they are also taking several steps forward to keep up with the fast-paced lives. Last week we talked about radionics a method which works on the priniciple of body vibrations and energy fields surrounding a person, and the Heal your Life technique that promises to teach you the principles of healing yourself. This week we will talk about 'EFT' or the Emotional Freedom technique.

What these therapies do are invaluable. In the first place they make us aware of the link between the body-mind and spirit which immediately shifts us to a holistic or spiritual perspective. Secondly, they help us become more aware of our inner world and also help us to handle the physical and emotional challenges that show up while we work on ourselves. Thirdly, we can mix and match many of these modalities instead of staying with just one.

The Emotional Freedom Technique is a technique that is a non-invasive offshoot of acupuncture. It promises to free a person of both emotional and physical ailments. Based on the flow of energy through the body, EFT has proven to be a technique that shows visible results.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique):

EFT was discovered by Gary Craig, in the mid-90s. It is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture but without the invasiveness of needles. Instead, simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the head and chest while you think about your specific problem whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, or pain, and voice positive affirmations.

"EFT is a great circuit breaker. EFT, believes that energy flows through meridians within the body. Negative emotions can cause energy blocks within these pathways, resulting in anxiety, stress, phobias and eventually physical ailments. By gently tapping on the acupressure points along the meridians and focusing on the negative emotion, the energy block is removed, energy moves freely and the patient experiences emotional and physical relief," says Jasmine Bharathan, a Mumbai-based EFT expert.
